Something really gone wrong for me here and have a feeling I have a brick.
1. Flashed ROCKET ROM-V19-XXLA4 from external sd using CWM.
2. Flash was confirmed rebooted.
3. Got Bootloop (Rocket Logo)
4. Could boot into download mode but PC not seeing device.
5. Removed battery for over 1 min.
6. Still no difference, the device just cant be seen. Even after reinstalling the drivers. via Kies trouble shooting.
Anyone have any ideas??

I had the same problem today, but it worked when i did this:
- Volume down + Home + Power
- Do not press continue yet
- Open Odin
- Connect it to the computer
- Choose Continue on the Note
Now the computer should install two new drivers (modem and another one), and then the phone will pop up on the computer.
Odin is seeing :- 0:[COM4]
Thanks so much really thought I'd bricked it. Forgot all about Odin A Beer and a thanks to you both.
Just a note, not sure what went wrong but I had to flash a full stock ROM including the Modem, Code and Multi to get it working again.

Hi there.
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note since I wanted to make it rootable.
When I bought it, I could use any simcard inside, so it is "unlocked".
Yesterday, I wanted to use my phone to root it but some files can't be downloaded via WWW.MULTIUPLOAD.COM (i guess it is because of what happened to MEGAUPLOAD).
So, one of my first questions is : is USB DEBUGGING activated when using the Galaxy note for the first time or not at all? (I didn't activate it when using my Galaxy Note before flashing it)
Second, I have used Odin to flash a file (PDA slot), the file was hard to find but google could help (i'm just meaning that some links here seem to be "broken" on multiupload). The flash was fine and the phone boot back... to a yellow triangle.
No way to change it.
No backup from the rom, but I remember it is a KKA.
I 've looked in that thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350960) to find everything that could help me, but the file is no more on multiupload
I tried via that thread, too :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370156 , but the problem remains
Third, I don't have any jug usb to use and no CMW installed nor loaded.
Could a kernel help to solve the problem about the yellow triangle, using ODIN, or not? Or is it better to use a fully functionnal rom, as a KKA?
Any help/comment would be much appreciated
N.B : sorry for my english that can be "poor" sometimes :s
Can you exactly give the file name, which you have used to flash PDA section? and size of it

1. It doesn't matter while flashing using PC Odin.
2. Are you sure about which ROM you flashed ( Suspecting you have flashed Custom ROM)
3. Their is way to remove Triangle (!) , you should use JIG
follow the link for more details.

Thanks for your quick replies
So, I wanted to flash that, using ODIN:
Recovery ClockworkMod Odin flashable.Tar
But on XDA, the link about it is in fact Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip.
Did I miss something??
The file I could find using google was about 8Mo and the flash was quite fast.
(I used it for the PDA part)
I also referred to that thread :

When No Any other method works to Root your device, use this

Note that, this will downgrade your ROM to KJ1, after that you can update it.
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/YB9EL8D8O3
- Make sure your SGN is NOT connected to your computer
- Reboot your SGN into "download mode" (Vol down + Home + Power))
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select the "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar" file
- Connect the SGN to your computer
- Make sure "repartition" is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot TWICE
- Done.
Now you have your device Rooted, Install Mobile Odin Pro n update your device to any new ROM with Mobile Odin

using the file for KKA, but then, next flashing, the yellow triangle...
I'm working right now but I can repost here in a few hours the exact name of the file I have found using google that I could not find over here.
Anyway, do you think I can "repair" it without any JIG USB?
And yes, it was on a custom rom (the phone is just new, only a few hours in my hands ) but it's not my first one (i could flash a HD2 and the Samsung Tablet with no problems...

This thing you did wrong, I have made lot effort to update Rooting guide here, still somebody How can find this guide i dont know.
Basically you have flashed with Netchip method, which was very first appeared, but later netchip also said, to not to use, b'coz it causing raise Flash counter
as well yellow triangle.
Now onwards remember, NEVER use PC ODIN to Flash Any Custome ROM/Kernel.
I am updating link here soon, how to reset your counter. You requires JIG for that
Edit : here is guide how to reset binaru count, n remove yellow triangle
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
-------------------
BTW till you get JIG, just go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 and download and flash ROM using PC odin(here it is stock ROM u can use it safely). you will get your phone working. later you can reset counter with JIG
Download my guide from here, how to update ROM, you can use Updating ROM with PC Odin section from guide.
Many thanks again, dr.ketan for such reply so fast
Hmmmm then I will have to wait for a JIG. I will order a JIG, it seems the price is not so expensive.
Thanks again for your comments and help, much appreciated

My 2 cents about that question, but if I have a message saying that there is an error while turning on the phone now :
Firmware upgrade encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
The problem is, when using Kies (for Windows), it is looking for the Galaxy Note, and, even if it is connected via USB, nothing happens, it's looking long, long, long, time, then, it says that it can not find it.
So, is a JIG still required?

See, JIG is required for totally different reason.
Your issue regarding, not connecting kies / Booting phone, won't be solved by JIG.
Jig can b use in two condition. One when you are unable to enter in download mode. I think, you dont have this issue
another To reset counter, for which you require JIG in your case.
Error you are facing right now during booting of device, can be solved by Reflashing ROM. You can flash any stock ROM with PC Odin, shud be enough to solve it.
Now regarding use of JIG, just enter in download mode, check Lt upper corner of devoce, it will have number of flash you have performed, i think in your case it must be 1 or more. which in normal case should be zero. Only To reset that counter, you needs Jig.
Thanks again.
Well, I download another stock rom but I got a "fail" (red color) above "id:com", when flashing on ODIN.
I am using Windows7 and tested the compatibility mode, the problem remains.
I have .md5 file that I put on PDA part. Then I click on Start but nothing, except the "fail" message.
When turning off the phone and on, I got the other message, said in my previous post :
"Firmware upgrade encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
So, Am I missing something.
About the download mode, the number is 7 in fact.
Oh I remember the file I wanted to flash via ODIN : netchip-cwm-update2.tar
It seemed to work just because the phone turned off and I got a "green" message that said that it was ok. (PASS).
I read one of your thread, when nothing works, so that man should go here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18981227&postcount=4
but the file (link) is not working now, so I can not get the file to test :s
But since then, I can not boot on Android anymore...
Yes unfortunately link is down since 2 days
Ya thats i guessed when i read you have used superuser zip, i have said earlier in 1 msg, you have used netchip.
Anyway, once go to recovery (vol up +home+power)n wipe data, clear cache, clear dwlvic caxhe.
Then put phone in download mode. Close firewall/antivirus on pc, open odin, connect device with download mode(vol down+home+power), if id com glow yellow, thn proceed with start

The main problem is that, too.
I can not enter Recovery, I got the yellow triangle.
I can only go in download mode, and when turning off and on the phone, the message said above :s
is JIG the only way to solve all that?
is my phone "blocked"? I am trying to test another stock rom, I'll give it a try and let you guess what happens.
EDIT 22:37:
The flash with that rom (N7000XXLA4_N7000DREKL1_DRE) has failed, even if it is a stock one.
Can I try to use any other rom from another country? Before I tried to flash the rom, I saw it was a KKA. Can I try so with a LA3 or something else, still stock one?
Oh man, that's so bad....
I think I found the problem...
I am using Windows7 64 bits.
My wife is on WindowsXP and I am using Odin on her netbook, and it's quite better !
the flashing is going on.
Hey !!!! that's all good !!!!! ^^'
My Galaxy Notes is working again ^'^'
Maybe should it be mentionned to be careful when using Windows7 64 bits, if some other members would have the same problem when flashing their roms?
Congrates !
ya it is common problem(win7), many time it has been discussed , but it is not that everytime it not works, but it happens in few cases.
When reading your answer yesterday, I thought I might had a chance to make my Galaxy Note working again without JIG.
Now I've downloaded Samsung drivers, for Windows7 64 bits, and I can flash with no problem. I'm backing up and can use CWM
Thanks again for your help and answers
I had the same problem, but then I decided to use the ORIGINAL usb cable and see: it did the trick !!!. Even on Windows 10 64bit !.
I was on Stunner ICS Rom and then decided to try out CM9 so i did the following
1.backed up everything using CWM Backup
2.Copied the main cwm rom and google apps zips onto internal zip card
3.Booted into recovery using CWN menu option.
4.Navigated to install zip from internal sd card and selected the zip
5.Then nothing. no progress bar,no movement etc.
6.Waited for about 10mins, still nothing.
7.Powered off the phone and removed battery.
8.PHONE WONT POWER ON AT ALL.
Anyone had a similar issue and is it resolvable?
Thanks.
I think not!, Sorry, mate - it looks like you've bricked your phone.
Haven't you read this in CyanogenMod 9 Discussion Thread:
- I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO FLASH FROM A CF-ROOTED STOCK GINGERBREAD ROM, JUST TO AVOID YOU HARD BRICKS.
and
- DON'T flash FROM i9220 LEAKED REPACK!

Well is wrong way because you miss return to gingerbread before flash cm9 first.

No harm in trying, but I think it's too late for that now.
Motherboard replacement is in order, I fear....
Can you get into download mode? I had a similar problem and fixed it by getting into download mode, connecting to pc, then run Odin and load CF-Root-SGN_XX_SER_LA6-v5.0-CWM5.tar, this reloaded my CWM recovery and then wipe cache etc and install anything. But by using Odin you will be stuck with that yellow triangle
As you said it would not turn on try the following.
Remove the batteyr for about 1hr or so when plug it back in and try to go directly yo downalod mode.
If you can flash a GB Rom and you "should" be OK. If you still can't start it you most likely need to send it in to replace the motherboard.
if its still on warranty, tell them this happened because of kies update fail.
sometimes, its inevitable to lie...

try a usb jig... if it is able to force ur mobile into download mode use pc odin to flash a gb rom... otherwise the only alternative is motherboard replacement

No i didnt read that! i got instructions from theandroidsoul.com page called cm9-galaxy-note Which doesnt talk about coming from a Gingerbread rom etc. I should have come straight to XDA and i'm paying the price!
Hope the samsung repair shop can restore it. One representative said they have quite a number of such cases but somehow they get the phone to work again. So i'm hoping mine will work out.

Really Bricked note
Just got news from Samsung local repair office that its beyond repair. Hard to believe that the software is so deeply intwined with the hardware that a software process can kill the phone.
Will try get the usb jig and see if it will work.
Thanks to everyone who had a suggestion or comment.
I swear I did the same a few weeks ago and flashed a N7000 STOCK Rom PC Odin and I was ok.
Really Bricked note - had to get new motherboard
Guys...read this before attempting to flash ... I had to buy a new motherboard after trying to flash CM9 on Stunner Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943
This WAS the situation before the problems:
Rooted Gingerbread rom, all working fine. Decided to unroot and install the full version of the official German ICS rom by using PC Odin. All went fine and used my Note for over two days. Because of the lags en slow responses I decided to reflash the ICS rom. From that moment on I messed it up. I've been reading and searching hundreds of posts for almost a day but didn't find a solution.
This IS the current situation:
I can get into download mode
I can get in recovery mode
However, in recovery mode I can not install a rom, every flash (CWM, both ICS and GB - even using chainfire's rom needed for rooting) stops on a random moment...but never gets it to the end, even if I wait several hours. Installing is very...very....very slow.
In recovery mode i can not restore a Nandroid backup, both ICS and GB. Every backup stops when /system has te be installed. errormessage.
In download mode I can connect my Note to PC Odin. I can select a rom and start flashing. However, after appr. 80% installation halts during "nand write start", no error message. The flashing does not finish, even after hours.
Funny is, i can install a kernel like Abyss.
So, I can't restore, i can't flash using cwm in recovery and I can't flash using PC Odin. My device seems not fully bricked. The max I get when rebooting (knowing that the process has not finished) is the triangle screen.
Any advise is appreciated.
Do not flash thru CWM... Flash a good GB kernel like "franco.Kernel" but thru PC Odin then u can flash whatever u want from franco's CWM... Good luck
Don't need help anymore
Note is officially bricked. After several attempts to recover from a softbrick the screen of my Note didn't turn on anymore. No button or button combination works, no recovery and no download mode, just a black screen.

Flat battery? It's also possible that it's just the screen that's not working. Try entering download mode "blind". So hold power+home+vol down for ~10 seconds, then press vol up. Hook it up via usb and see if Odin can recognize it.
Thanks, didn't think of that. But unfortunately no response from the device.
So now that it looks like your phone is officially bricked, I think you should just take it to Samsung and make up a story. Like you were updating your software with Kies and something happened and the phone is just not booting up.
I am sorry you bricked your note though..
try AMORA Filemanager.. flash via recovery and you have a file manager,,, take a look on your partitions
just my idea, you got nothing to lose

i was not a member when i commited this mistake. but then big thanks to this community it helped me back from softbrick.
first you do is install a stock kernel of ics on your note go into recovery and just clear cache partition, thats it no wipe/data factory reset.
then,
install the pit file from this thread, also read it completely before proceeding. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1667886 , hoping yours is 16gb version and also read this thread for additional info but its quite complicated for me so im just telling you the direct method and hopefully itll get your note back to work. so once you download the 16gb pit file unzip it and in the unzip folder you will find a separately lying pit of 16gb stating patched-standard thats the one you want.
then,
goto samfirmware and download the latest ics firmware(i downloaded the indian one as it is in file .tar),
unzip it till you get .tar file.
open odin- click pit-select 16gb patched standard pit- check wether repartion is ticked- click pda-select the .tar file you extracted connect your phone and start. this time i wont stop at factory.fs.....
NOTE THAT AFTER THIS PROCEDURE IS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE WOULD BE ONLY 8GB INSTEAD OF 11 GB STOCK WHICH YOU WERE GETTING.
I REVIVED MY NOTE THROUGH THIS PROCEDURE. PROCEES AT YOUR OWN RISK.
one your phone is working you'll be able to reset the counter with a jig and get your phone under warranty and get your motherboard changed by teliing at the Samsung Service that you are getting only 8gb instead of 11gb you used to get earlier(warranty only if you had any).
hope this helps mate.
BEST OF LUCK!!

Searching the forum constantly, but I figured I'd ask at the same time.
Heres what i have:
Galaxy S
Rooted
Froyo 2.2
Baseband I9000UGKC1
Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #4
Buikd FROYO.UGKC1
I've Rooted and Unlocked. I require UNLOCK.
I'd like to upgrade my OS to either JB or ICS whichever is the most stable and smooth. (I'm looking for iPhone smooth.)
I think I'll use Cyanagenmod and Clockwork recovery.
Will This remove my unlock? If so. Is there a way to unlock ICS or JB?
Suggestions, Tips please.
Thanks a bunch.

First backup your important files to your PC than you must first upgrade to gingerbread 2.3.6 only than you should and can flash ICS and after that JB. you can do the gingerbread upgrade by using KIES or ODIN, and flash again with a semaphore kernel which will give you CWM + root using Odin, after that backup your EFS before flashing ICS using CWM and finally JB with CWM
Thank you. Didn't realize I had to go gingerbread first. Could have ended badly...
By re flashing I lose my unlock. Yes?
There is a way to unlock in JB?
Thanks again.

No, you won't lose your unlock, Read your wiki page for guidance http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
Sorry for the late reply. I've been fighting for two days with Kies.
I can't get my phone to connect with it.
I believe its a driver issue.
I can let windows find the driver. Phone then is recognized by windows. But doesn't connect to kies. I get an error message.
Tried following the troubleshooting guide in Kies. It installs driver. No connect.
Went to Samsung for driver. No go with Kies again.. I get a message from windows saying my device can perform better using a usb 2.0 port. I was on a 2.0 port.
Got a driver from xda wiki. Same results.. I cannot get kies and my galaxy to work together.
Tried different usb cable (official Samsung). And different USB port.
I'm lost...
**Update**
I just tried on an XP machine. Same thing. 'can't connect to device, please disconnect and try again'...
Should i try a factory restore and start over from the beginning?

just uninstall KIES, leave the USB drivers, and connect with ODIN to flash a gingerbread 2.3.6 ROM according to your region from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 than root with a semaphore kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 , you will also get CWM with this kernel.
No use wasting time trying to get KIES to work, this is happening to a lot of people , could be due to Microsoft's competition with Samsung. you can get all your softwares , tools etc from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29331775#post29331775

Followed Instructions... Got stuck in boot loop.
now
Phone ! PC image....
Did I Brick it? I could access Download mode. Tried recovery. now I have the Phone ! PC screen...
appreciate any help now... I'm without a phone.
Obviously, your flashing process was interrupted.
First of all, did you backup your data?
2nd, Go to Download mode (Power + Home + Volume Down) then reflash Gingerbread via ODIN.

Nope, not bricked, Did this happen after you flash ROM or after you flashed the semaphore kernel? anyway...
1) reboot PC as well reboot phone after a battery pull, also take out SIM Card as well as your EXT SD card , reisert battery after pressing power button for a min
2) make sure you had uninstalled the KIES only leaving the Samsung USB drivers
3) go into download mode and flash again the ROM as per instructions on that page.
IF not you can use a i9000 rescue or resurrection kit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29331775#post29331775 , has guides there too
BTW make sure you have good battery charge at least 50% before you flash and never interrupt flashing process

Thank you so much! Without your help. I'd be knee deep in threads and various topics that made no sense to me.
It was battery.. I gave it a full charge and tried again. Worked. Sorta... Still had a boot loop after flashing GB. Got fed up and hit restore. Upon reboot. GB was there... Flashed sephamore with 0 issues. Running like a charm.
One last thing. Is ICS worth it if GB is working fine? I mean what are the benefits of ICS over GB? My friend swears by ICS on his RAZR should I worry about it on my 9000M?
Big thanks again. Cheers! :good:
